An Ice Cream Peace Offering

Astonished, David stood on the porch staring at the door that Kara just slammed shut in his face. He held tight to the M&M mix she had bought him. How foolish he had been about her eating his ice cream. It's not worth losing the women of his dreams. "It's just ice cream," he mumbled. He knocked on the door and rang the doorbell. The house was silent. He tried the knob, but the door was locked. Again he rang the doorbell. Still there was silence.
He sat down on the porch and began eating the ice cream mix, thinking about her. Missing her more and more by every second she refused to speak to him. He looked down at the ice cream and saw he had eaten half already. He sat it down on the porch. He couldn't eat anymore. Not without her by his side eating her vanilla waffle cone. Ice cream just wasn't the same without her laughing and smiling next to him.

He pulled the ring from his pocket and stared at it. He wanted to make her happy. He wanted to see her smile and say "yes" when he asked her to marry him. But now he worried that he wouldn't get the opportunity to ask her.
The door creaked and he turned around to see her standing against the door.
"Kara, I didn't-"
"David, stop. What's done is done. It is the past." He started to speak and she held up her hand. "Let me finish. It was wrong of me to eat your ice cream no matter how much was left. But I was craving it. And I, I-"
He waited for her to say more, but she didn't continue. She shook her head and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Please don't cry Kara. I don't want to lose you over a cup of ice cream. You see this cup," he said as he picked up the M&M mix.
She nodded.
"You can have the other half. I would share all of my ice cream with you."
She looked up and gazed into his eyes. He handed her the cup and she refused it.
"It's for you," she whispered.
He pulled her chin up and pulled her in close to him. "Kara, what's mine is yours." He kissed her gently. After a moment or two, he pulled away from her and took her hand in his and knelt down on one knee. "Marry me Kara and we will share a lifetime of ice cream together."
She giggled and tears filled her eyes. "Yes, David. Yes I will marry you and we will make many memories while eating ice cream together."

The End
